Mexico's youngest governor learns new politics
HERMOSILLO, Mexico(CNS)The most immediate impression
of Carlos Armando Biebrich, 33,
Mexico's youngest governor, is
of a man constantly in motion
with immense energy and drive.
The former University of Sonora honor student and law graduate walks swiftly into a room
dictating crisp .orders to two or
more assistants who accompany
him wherever he goes.
He was elected on July 1 to a
six-year term as governor of
one of Mexico's most progressive
states and took office on Sept. 13.
Biebrich works in an atmosphere . of supercharged activity.
He discusses his personal and
political philosophy between conversations conducted simultaneously on three telephones at once
and through a steady flow of
rapid, emphatic decisions.
His working day begins before
8 a.m. and normally ends 16
hours later , usually after midnight.
GOVo CARLOS BIEBRICH
••• I learned a new way of politics'
But out in the country with
Sonora's ranchers and farmers,
in the High Sierras with the
miners or in the city suburbs
with the working people , Biebrich
changes pace.
He listens carefully to faltering explanations of local problems or personal difficulties, to
ambitious plans for development
and shares community triumphs.
"I learned a new way of politics during my campaign," he
said. "I learned to listen with
patience and identify the problems with the people, with individuals ."
Biebrich ran unopposed on the
ticket of Mexico's ruling party,
Partida Revolucionario Institucional (PRI).
' But before the election he
barmstormed every city, village,
farming community, tourism development and fishing cooperative to become thoroughly backgrounded by the people and establish· a grass roots working
relationship.
"Until you know the people,
you cannot really grasp the.problems," he said. ,
Wearing a guayabera shirt,
brown leather jacket, work pants
and stout walking shoes he made
his preelection rounds by automobile, pickup truck, light airplane and when necessary, by
horseback into isolated communities.
The Mexican border state of
Sonora is located below Arizona.
Its geography ranges from
sweeping deserts to rugged
mountains along more than 500
miles of coastline along the Gulf
of California with its broad
beaches, bays and picturesque
coves.
The sprawling range of mountains in eastern Sonora contains
a rich lode of minerals, including gold, _ silver and Mexico's
major copper deposits.
Along the international border
in the north, foreign-based as- .
sembly plants, many of which
headquarter in the United States,
provide employment for thousands of Sonorans.
Fertile, irrigated valleys produce bountiful crops of vegetables and fruits for domestic
use and the foreign export market
making Sonora one of Mexico's
breadbasket states.
The state is also one of the
country's principal livestock production areas.
Elaborate tourism develop:.
ments along the west gulf coast
are popular with . tourists. Sonora's fishing industry ranks high
in national production.
Shrimp_brought in by Guaymas
fishermen are famous throughout
Mexico and the United States.
But Sonora also has serious
problems that must be solved, at
least in a good part, by the youthful governor.
There is a high unemployment
index with 80,000 people either
out of work or living on submarginal incomes of less than
$80 per month.
Cattle ranges are depleted,

with too much livestock on land
with too little grass.
Fishermen in the cooperatives
are asking for government assistance to acquire advanced
technology, more boats, equipment and processing plants for
the catch.
More th~n 2,000 independent
miners need better roads in order
to get ore from hundreds of small
mines to the mills and smelters.
One of the most highly developed industrial parks in Mexico
is located at Nogales, on the
Arizona border, and more effective means are being sought to
encourage industrialists to locate
plants in the area.
Ranchers are pleading for
technologists to show them how to
improve their pastures, develop
breeding programs to upgrade
their herds and for credit to expand their operations.
Biebrich ls also working on
serious problems tnat have de.,.
officia~s was simple to understand. He said , the sheriffs are
trying to g~t the public scared
so that they may receive more
appropriations from city hall to
do more strike breaking.
"It's a shameful thing on the
part of the sheriffs in Fresno,
Tulare, and Kern counties. lt's
a disgraceful thing, t1 said Cesar·,
adding that Fresno County hHI
last season 'spent more than
$400,000 just for that purpos"-,
Cesar also said that the Teamsters are afraid to hold fair
elections, because they know the
UFW has the workers.
"They know we are organized.
We don't organize the growers
like the Teamsters do; we organize workers and they are organized because they've got an
ideal and they are going to fight
until they get it, t1 he said.
Cesar addressed the people
more as if "platicando con familiares," like casually conversing
with close friends, he told them
that the union cannot help bttt
succeed because of them.
He told the audience · some
stories he has heard from the
other communities he has visited. He told them of the struggle
they all have in common. He reminded them of the way things
were before the union came. How

He left them with hope. As he

shook his hand. They knew they

In addition it was quite ironical
that the question should have
been asked, when just a week
before . in that same building, on
that same floor, just down the
hallway from where the students
we re gathered to request the
funds for the Week, a very racist
and ignorant statement had been
spouted from the lips of the highest representative in student government , the student body pr csident.
As long as attitudes and flag rant ideas and conditions like
these run rampant, especially
among those who should be responsible enough to know better,
then it is quite obvious such activities like the Cultural Week
are necessary. if only to educate
a 11d enlighten those indi victuals.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Institutional racism
Editor:
In the past several months, as
in years past, a lot of our energies have been directed toward
correcting the immediate symptoms of the sickness called institutional racism that plagues
our university.
Examples of this can be seen
in the school administration versus EOP Summer Institute issue
and racist comments by leading
student representatives, not to
mention the recent Sociaology
requirement tests.
Granted, our immediate response to the call for supportis impressive and important, but
our spontaneity cannot and will
not remedy the illness. Our disorganization cannot defeat their
organization.
In a few weeks, we will be
electing our student representatives. Those people who will
lead us and direct us. We will
be electing those who will hold the
power and responsibility to organize a just and honest cause.
Our cause, the people's cause.
It is to that need to organize
our cause in a more effective
manner than past student administrations that we should feel
our responsibility. We should
vote for someone who we think

Mexico's youngest governor learns new politics
HERMOSILLO, Mexico(CNS)The most immediate impression
of Carlos Armando Biebrich, 33,
Mexico's youngest governor, is
of a man constantly in motion
with immense energy and drive.
The former University of Sonora honor student and law graduate walks swiftly into a room
dictating crisp .orders to two or
more assistants who accompany
him wherever he goes.
He was elected on July 1 to a
six-year term as governor of
one of Mexico's most progressive
states and took office on Sept. 13.
Biebrich works in an atmosphere . of supercharged activity.
He discusses his personal and
political philosophy between conversations conducted simultaneously on three telephones at once
and through a steady flow of
rapid, emphatic decisions.
His working day begins before
8 a.m. and normally ends 16
hours later , usually after midnight.
GOVo CARLOS BIEBRICH
••• I learned a new way of politics'
But out in the country with
Sonora's ranchers and farmers,
in the High Sierras with the
miners or in the city suburbs
with the working people , Biebrich
changes pace.
He listens carefully to faltering explanations of local problems or personal difficulties, to
ambitious plans for development
and shares community triumphs.
"I learned a new way of politics during my campaign," he
said. "I learned to listen with
patience and identify the problems with the people, with individuals ."
Biebrich ran unopposed on the
ticket of Mexico's ruling party,
Partida Revolucionario Institucional (PRI).
' But before the election he
barmstormed every city, village,
farming community, tourism development and fishing cooperative to become thoroughly backgrounded by the people and establish· a grass roots working
relationship.
"Until you know the people,
you cannot really grasp the.problems," he said. ,
Wearing a guayabera shirt,
brown leather jacket, work pants
and stout walking shoes he made
his preelection rounds by automobile, pickup truck, light airplane and when necessary, by
horseback into isolated communities.
The Mexican border state of
Sonora is located below Arizona.
Its geography ranges from
sweeping deserts to rugged
mountains along more than 500
miles of coastline along the Gulf
of California with its broad
beaches, bays and picturesque
coves.
The sprawling range of mountains in eastern Sonora contains
a rich lode of minerals, including gold, _ silver and Mexico's
major copper deposits.
Along the international border
in the north, foreign-based as- .
sembly plants, many of which
headquarter in the United States,
provide employment for thousands of Sonorans.
Fertile, irrigated valleys produce bountiful crops of vegetables and fruits for domestic
use and the foreign export market
making Sonora one of Mexico's
breadbasket states.
The state is also one of the
country's principal livestock production areas.
Elaborate tourism develop:.
ments along the west gulf coast
are popular with . tourists. Sonora's fishing industry ranks high
in national production.
Shrimp_brought in by Guaymas
fishermen are famous throughout
Mexico and the United States.
But Sonora also has serious
problems that must be solved, at
least in a good part, by the youthful governor.
There is a high unemployment
index with 80,000 people either
out of work or living on submarginal incomes of less than
$80 per month.
Cattle ranges are depleted,

with too much livestock on land
with too little grass.
Fishermen in the cooperatives
are asking for government assistance to acquire advanced
technology, more boats, equipment and processing plants for
the catch.
More th~n 2,000 independent
miners need better roads in order
to get ore from hundreds of small
mines to the mills and smelters.
One of the most highly developed industrial parks in Mexico
is located at Nogales, on the
Arizona border, and more effective means are being sought to
encourage industrialists to locate
plants in the area.
Ranchers are pleading for
technologists to show them how to
improve their pastures, develop
breeding programs to upgrade
their herds and for credit to expand their operations.
Biebrich ls also working on

officia~s was simple to understand. He said , the sheriffs are
trying to g~t the public scared
so that they may receive more
appropriations from city hall to
do more strike breaking.
"It's a shameful thing on the
part of the sheriffs in Fresno,
Tulare, and Kern counties. lt's
a disgraceful thing, t1 said Cesar·,
adding that Fresno County hHI
last season 'spent more than
$400,000 just for that purpos"-,
Cesar also said that the Teamsters are afraid to hold fair
elections, because they know the
UFW has the workers.
"They know we are organized.
We don't organize the growers
like the Teamsters do; we organize workers and they are organized because they've got an
ideal and they are going to fight
until they get it, t1 he said.
Cesar addressed the people
more as if "platicando con familiares," like casually conversing
with close friends, he told them
that the union cannot help bttt

He told the audience · some

In addition it was quite ironical
that the question should have
been asked, when just a week
before . in that same building, on
that same floor, just down the
hallway from where the students
we re gathered to request the
funds for the Week, a very racist
and ignorant statement had been
spouted from the lips of the highest representative in student government , the student body pr csident.
As long as attitudes and flag rant ideas and conditions like
these run rampant, especially
among those who should be responsible enough to know better,
then it is quite obvious such activities like the Cultural Week
are necessary. if only to educate

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Institutional racism
Editor:
In the past several months, as
in years past, a lot of our energies have been directed toward
correcting the immediate symptoms of the sickness called institutional racism that plagues
our university.
Examples of this can be seen
in the school administration versus EOP Summer Institute issue
and racist comments by leading
student representatives, not to
mention the recent Sociaology
requirement tests.
Granted, our immediate response to the call for supportis impressive and important, but
our spontaneity cannot and will
not remedy the illness. Our disorganization cannot defeat their
organization.
In a few weeks, we will be
electing our student representatives. Those people who will
lead us and direct us. We will
be electing those who will hold the
power and responsibility to organize a just and honest cause.
Our cause, the people's cause.
It is to that need to organize
our cause in a more effective
manner than past student administrations that we should feel
our responsibility. We should
vote for someone who we think

other person they meet tell them
that they are part Indian and yet
these same people allow Indian

Mexico's youngest governor learns new politics
HERMOSILLO, Mexico(CNS)The most immediate impression
of Carlos Armando Biebrich, 33,
Mexico's youngest governor, is
of a man constantly in motion
with immense energy and drive.
The former University of Sonora honor student and law graduate walks swiftly into a room
dictating crisp .orders to two or
more assistants who accompany
him wherever he goes.
He was elected on July 1 to a
six-year term as governor of
one of Mexico's most progressive
states and took office on Sept. 13.
Biebrich works in an atmosphere . of supercharged activity.
He discusses his personal and
political philosophy between conversations conducted simultaneously on three telephones at once
and through a steady flow of
rapid, emphatic decisions.
His working day begins before
8 a.m. and normally ends 16
hours later , usually after midnight.
GOVo CARLOS BIEBRICH
••• I learned a new way of politics'
But out in the country with
Sonora's ranchers and farmers,
in the High Sierras with the
miners or in the city suburbs
with the working people , Biebrich
changes pace.
He listens carefully to faltering explanations of local problems or personal difficulties, to
ambitious plans for development
and shares community triumphs.
"I learned a new way of politics during my campaign," he
said. "I learned to listen with
patience and identify the problems with the people, with individuals ."
Biebrich ran unopposed on the
ticket of Mexico's ruling party,
Partida Revolucionario Institucional (PRI).
' But before the election he
barmstormed every city, village,
farming community, tourism development and fishing cooperative to become thoroughly backgrounded by the people and establish· a grass roots working
relationship.
"Until you know the people,
you cannot really grasp the.problems," he said. ,
Wearing a guayabera shirt,
brown leather jacket, work pants
and stout walking shoes he made
his preelection rounds by automobile, pickup truck, light airplane and when necessary, by
horseback into isolated communities.
The Mexican border state of
Sonora is located below Arizona.
Its geography ranges from
sweeping deserts to rugged
mountains along more than 500
miles of coastline along the Gulf
of California with its broad
beaches, bays and picturesque
coves.
The sprawling range of mountains in eastern Sonora contains
a rich lode of minerals, including gold, _ silver and Mexico's
major copper deposits.
Along the international border
in the north, foreign-based as- .
sembly plants, many of which
headquarter in the United States,
provide employment for thousands of Sonorans.
Fertile, irrigated valleys produce bountiful crops of vegetables and fruits for domestic
use and the foreign export market
making Sonora one of Mexico's
breadbasket states.
The state is also one of the
country's principal livestock production areas.
Elaborate tourism develop:.
ments along the west gulf coast
are popular with . tourists. Sonora's fishing industry ranks high
in national production.
Shrimp_brought in by Guaymas
fishermen are famous throughout
Mexico and the United States.
But Sonora also has serious
problems that must be solved, at
least in a good part, by the youthful governor.
There is a high unemployment
index with 80,000 people either
out of work or living on submarginal incomes of less than
$80 per month.

with too much livestock on land
with too little grass.
Fishermen in the cooperatives
are asking for government assistance to acquire advanced
technology, more boats, equipment and processing plants for
the catch.
More th~n 2,000 independent
miners need better roads in order
to get ore from hundreds of small
mines to the mills and smelters.
One of the most highly developed industrial parks in Mexico
is located at Nogales, on the
Arizona border, and more effective means are being sought to
encourage industrialists to locate
plants in the area.
Ranchers are pleading for
technologists to show them how to
improve their pastures, develop
breeding programs to upgrade
their herds and for credit to expand their operations.
Biebrich ls also working on

trying to g~t the public scared
so that they may receive more
appropriations from city hall to
do more strike breaking.
"It's a shameful thing on the
part of the sheriffs in Fresno,
Tulare, and Kern counties. lt's
a disgraceful thing, t1 said Cesar·,
adding that Fresno County hHI
last season 'spent more than
$400,000 just for that purpos"-,
Cesar also said that the Teamsters are afraid to hold fair
elections, because they know the
UFW has the workers.
"They know we are organized.
We don't organize the growers
like the Teamsters do; we organize workers and they are organized because they've got an
ideal and they are going to fight
until they get it, t1 he said.
Cesar addressed the people

with close friends, he told them
that the union cannot help bttt

In addition it was quite ironical
that the question should have
been asked, when just a week
before . in that same building, on
that same floor, just down the
hallway from where the students
we re gathered to request the
funds for the Week, a very racist
and ignorant statement had been
spouted from the lips of the highest representative in student government , the student body pr csident.
As long as attitudes and flag rant ideas and conditions like
these run rampant, especially
among those who should be responsible enough to know better,
then it is quite obvious such activities like the Cultural Week

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Institutional racism
Editor:
In the past several months, as
in years past, a lot of our energies have been directed toward
correcting the immediate symptoms of the sickness called institutional racism that plagues
our university.
Examples of this can be seen
in the school administration versus EOP Summer Institute issue
and racist comments by leading
student representatives, not to
mention the recent Sociaology
requirement tests.
Granted, our immediate response to the call for supportis impressive and important, but
our spontaneity cannot and will
not remedy the illness. Our disorganization cannot defeat their
organization.
In a few weeks, we will be
electing our student representatives. Those people who will
lead us and direct us. We will
be electing those who will hold the
power and responsibility to organize a just and honest cause.
Our cause, the people's cause.
It is to that need to organize
our cause in a more effective
manner than past student administrations that we should feel
our responsibility. We should
vote for someone who we think

Mexico's youngest governor learns new politics
HERMOSILLO, Mexico(CNS)The most immediate impression
of Carlos Armando Biebrich, 33,
Mexico's youngest governor, is
of a man constantly in motion
with immense energy and drive.
The former University of Sonora honor student and law graduate walks swiftly into a room
dictating crisp .orders to two or
more assistants who accompany
him wherever he goes.
He was elected on July 1 to a
six-year term as governor of
one of Mexico's most progressive
states and took office on Sept. 13.
Biebrich works in an atmosphere . of supercharged activity.
He discusses his personal and
political philosophy between conversations conducted simultaneously on three telephones at once
and through a steady flow of
rapid, emphatic decisions.
His working day begins before
8 a.m. and normally ends 16
hours later , usually after midnight.
GOVo CARLOS BIEBRICH
••• I learned a new way of politics'
But out in the country with
Sonora's ranchers and farmers,
in the High Sierras with the
miners or in the city suburbs
with the working people , Biebrich
changes pace.
He listens carefully to faltering explanations of local problems or personal difficulties, to
ambitious plans for development
and shares community triumphs.
"I learned a new way of politics during my campaign," he
said. "I learned to listen with
patience and identify the problems with the people, with individuals ."
Biebrich ran unopposed on the
ticket of Mexico's ruling party,
Partida Revolucionario Institucional (PRI).
' But before the election he
barmstormed every city, village,
farming community, tourism development and fishing cooperative to become thoroughly backgrounded by the people and establish· a grass roots working
relationship.
"Until you know the people,
you cannot really grasp the.problems," he said. ,
Wearing a guayabera shirt,
brown leather jacket, work pants
and stout walking shoes he made
his preelection rounds by automobile, pickup truck, light airplane and when necessary, by
horseback into isolated communities.
The Mexican border state of
Sonora is located below Arizona.
Its geography ranges from
sweeping deserts to rugged
mountains along more than 500
miles of coastline along the Gulf
of California with its broad
beaches, bays and picturesque
coves.
The sprawling range of mountains in eastern Sonora contains
a rich lode of minerals, including gold, _ silver and Mexico's
major copper deposits.
Along the international border
in the north, foreign-based as- .
sembly plants, many of which
headquarter in the United States,
provide employment for thousands of Sonorans.
Fertile, irrigated valleys produce bountiful crops of vegetables and fruits for domestic
use and the foreign export market
making Sonora one of Mexico's
breadbasket states.
The state is also one of the
country's principal livestock production areas.
Elaborate tourism develop:.
ments along the west gulf coast
are popular with . tourists. Sonora's fishing industry ranks high
in national production.
Shrimp_brought in by Guaymas
fishermen are famous throughout
Mexico and the United States.
But Sonora also has serious
problems that must be solved, at
least in a good part, by the youthful governor.
There is a high unemployment

$80 per month.

with too much livestock on land
with too little grass.
Fishermen in the cooperatives
are asking for government assistance to acquire advanced
technology, more boats, equipment and processing plants for

More th~n 2,000 independent
miners need better roads in order
to get ore from hundreds of small
mines to the mills and smelters.
One of the most highly developed industrial parks in Mexico
is located at Nogales, on the
Arizona border, and more effective means are being sought to
encourage industrialists to locate
plants in the area.
Ranchers are pleading for
technologists to show them how to
improve their pastures, develop
breeding programs to upgrade
their herds and for credit to expand their operations.

so that they may receive more
appropriations from city hall to
do more strike breaking.
"It's a shameful thing on the
part of the sheriffs in Fresno,
Tulare, and Kern counties. lt's
a disgraceful thing, t1 said Cesar·,
adding that Fresno County hHI
last season 'spent more than
$400,000 just for that purpos"-,
Cesar also said that the Teamsters are afraid to hold fair
elections, because they know the
UFW has the workers.
"They know we are organized.
We don't organize the growers
like the Teamsters do; we organize workers and they are organized because they've got an
ideal and they are going to fight

Cesar addressed the people

In addition it was quite ironical
that the question should have
been asked, when just a week
before . in that same building, on
that same floor, just down the
hallway from where the students
we re gathered to request the
funds for the Week, a very racist
and ignorant statement had been
spouted from the lips of the highest representative in student government , the student body pr csident.
As long as attitudes and flag rant ideas and conditions like
these run rampant, especially
among those who should be responsible enough to know better,
then it is quite obvious such activities like the Cultural Week

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Institutional racism
Editor:
In the past several months, as
in years past, a lot of our energies have been directed toward
correcting the immediate symptoms of the sickness called institutional racism that plagues
our university.
Examples of this can be seen
in the school administration versus EOP Summer Institute issue
and racist comments by leading
student representatives, not to
mention the recent Sociaology
requirement tests.
Granted, our immediate response to the call for supportis impressive and important, but
our spontaneity cannot and will
not remedy the illness. Our disorganization cannot defeat their
organization.
In a few weeks, we will be
electing our student representatives. Those people who will
lead us and direct us. We will
be electing those who will hold the
power and responsibility to organize a just and honest cause.
Our cause, the people's cause.
It is to that need to organize
our cause in a more effective
manner than past student administrations that we should feel
our responsibility. We should
vote for someone who we think

stretched to full truths. For too
iong they have been quietly inJUlted by having at least every
other person they meet tell them
that they are part Indian and yet
these same people allow Indian
problems to go uncorrected. They
are tired of their talk.
It is time for a change and the
Cultural Week marks the beginning. They must start somewhere

owe it not only to those Indians
that have gone before them, not
only to those Indians that are
present , but most important it is
owed to those Indian students of
the future , their younger brothers

starting these changes, and that
